18 How pro-poor is spending on educa3on and health

19 Main Results EducaBon spending on primary and secondary schooling per person tends to decline with income ( pro-poor ) or be the same across the income distribubon Ø Are middle-classes opbng out in middle and high income countries? TerBary educabon spending is not pro-poor but it is equalizing except for Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, Indonesia, Tanzania, and Uganda, where it is unequalizing Source: LusBg (2018) 19

20 Main Results Health spending per person Ø Absolute transfer declines with income (equalizing and pro-poor) in 9 of 28 countries for which there was data Ø Is the same across the income distribubon (neutral in absolute terms) in 12 of 28 countries Ø Transfer as share of market income declines with income (equalizing but not pro-poor) in El Salvador, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Indonesia, Jordan, Peru and Tanzania Source: LusBg (2018) 20

21 In Conclusion Fiscal systems are always equalizing but can omen reduce the purchasing power of the poor Ø Warning: unintended consequence of the domesbc resource mobilizabon agenda can be making the poor worse off Spending on educabon and health is omen pro-poor and almost universally equalizing Ø Warning: is this favorable result because middle-classes and the rich are opbng out? 21

22 Advantages and Challenges Advantages Evidence-based approach on who bears the burden of taxes and who receives the benefits (government budget) Govs. Of Indonesia and Paraguay use tool as part of annual budget Evidence-based approach on who would be negabvely affected/benefited by tax and spending reforms CEQ working with IMF to assess impact of increasing VAT/ reducing subsidies, and how best to compensate the poor Challenges InformaBon and skill-intensive exercises
